Symptom narrative

had Covid; had Covid; lost my eyesight; felt like someone hit me with something really hard in the lower quadrant in the back of my head/headache; completely dizzy; it went into a fog; I had a migraine for five straight months-night; nausea; This is a spontaneous report received from a Consumer or other non HCP, Program ID. A 54-year-old female patient received BNT162b2 omicron (kp.2) (COMIRNATY (2024-2025 FORMULA)), as dose 1, single (Batch/Lot number: unknown) for covid-19 immunisation. The patient's relevant medical history and concomitant medications were not reported. The following information was reported: COVID-19 (medically significant), DRUG INEFFECTIVE (medically significant), outcome "unknown" and all described as "had Covid"; BLINDNESS (medically significant), outcome "unknown", described as "lost my eyesight"; HEADACHE (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "felt like someone hit me with something really hard in the lower quadrant in the back of my head/headache"; DIZZINESS (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "completely dizzy"; VISION BLURRED (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "it went into a fog"; MIGRAINE (non-serious), outcome "unknown", described as "I had a migraine for five straight months-night"; NAUSEA (non-serious), outcome "unknown". The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: SARS-CoV-2 test: Positive, notes: My wife and I tested positive for covid. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of covid-19, drug ineffective. Clinical course: During an inbound call for assistance with a voucher not working at the pharmacy, the reporter stated, "It's hard to concentrate. I just feel so bad, I'm really losing it here. I just felt so bad all night, neither one of us can think." The reporter then referred to her own experience by stating, "I'm afraid to take the medicine, but I'll do it if I have to. The first time I had Covid, I took Paxlovid. Paxlovid will make you feel so sick while you're on it, that you almost wish that you just tried to ride it out and see how it will go. It's a tough drug. Halfway through that medicine, I was so dried out. That alone makes you feel like you don't breathe well. It's a strong drug. It must help people who need it. It probably helped me, so I can't complain, but it's a strong medicine." The reporter then stated, "I got the Pfizer shot and after I got that shot it felt like someone hit me with something really hard in the lower quadrant in the back of my head. It felt like someone hit me in the lower left side of my head. It hurt so bad, but I didn't say anything to anyone there. And so, I came home. I started to walk; I couldn't walk a straight line. I was completely dizzy. All of a sudden, the whole room started to disappear. I completely lost my eyesight; it went into a fog. It was very scary. I don't know if I had enough time to be scared when it happened, but afterwards, when I thought about it, you lost your eyesight. And the headache, it came back." The reporter further stated, "I was very dizzy. I was so dizzy I couldn't believe it. I had a migraine for five straight months - day, all day long nausea. My whole head was killing me, five months. I never went back for another vaccine for Covid again. I want to get this medicine especially for him, he's a heart patient, he had a heart attack."
